Lucknow Super Giants Preview: Bowling attack exposed
Lucknow Super Giants’ patched up bowling unit was taken down by Punjab Kings in their most recent IPL fixture. After Lucknow recorded 171/7 batting first, Punjab Kings comfortably ended up chasing that total down, sealing victory in the 17th over with only two wickets lost. Lucknow’s bowlers lacked potency with the exception of Digvesh Singh Rathi and were never really in the contest.
Mumbai Indians Preview: Season has begun
Mumbai Indians have had their customary poor start and now they have that all-important first victory under their belts, don’t be surprised to see them go on a winning run from here. It’s perhaps no surprise that their first win came at home against Kolkata Knight Riders, especially when you consider their record in the fixture. It was Mumbai’s tenth win in 12 games at home to KKR and it came in dominating fashion, the hosts triumphing by eight wickets after bowling out their opponents for just 116.
Lucknow Super Giants Betting Analysis
West Indian batter Nicholas Pooran remains hot for Lucknow despite his side’s loss against Punjab. The big-hitting Pooran smoked a quickfire 44, the top score for the Super Giants once again, backing up his 70 off just 26 balls vs Sunrisers Hyderabad. Back Pooran to continue contributing heavily for Lucknow, specifically via a stake through the Team - Top Batter market.
Mumbai Indians Betting Analysis
Mumbai Indians will be hoping that Trent Boult can break things open for them with the ball in the powerplay, regardless of whether they are bowling first or second. Boult is notorious for his wicket-taking abilities early on with his left-arm pace and it would be no surprise to see him record some early scalps in this one, so consider backing him to take over 1.5 wickets here.
Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians Expert Prediction
If Mumbai Indians bowl as well as they did against Kolkata Knight Riders here in Lucknow, then they should be well-placed to succeed here. Combine that with the Super Giants’ bowling woes and Mumbai are in a good spot heading into this match as they look to make it two wins running this season.
Whilst Lucknow Super Giants have home advantage, Mumbai Indians have a good mix of experience and youth to handle the change in location and are well worth backing to pick up their first points on the road in 2025.
